## Frequently asked questions

What is the area code for Cartagena?

The area code for Cartagena, Colombia is 5. Calling from outside Colombia, dial your exit code, then +57, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number — written together as +57 5 followed by the subscriber number.

How do I call Cartagena from abroad?

From the United States or Canada, dial 011 + 57 + 5 + the local number. From most of Europe and from a mobile anywhere, replace the exit code with 00 or simply press and hold 0 to enter a plus sign, which works from any country without knowing its exit code.

Do I drop the 0 when calling Cartagena?

Yes. Colombia uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls, so Cartagena's code is written 5 locally and dialled as 5 from abroad. Keeping the trunk prefix in an international number is the single most common reason the call fails to connect.

How many digits is a Cartagena phone number?

A full Colombia number is 8 digits after the country code, area code included — for example +57 1 234 5678. That length is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number one digit short is a typo rather than a valid shorter number.

How much does it cost to call Cartagena?

Calling a Cartagena landline costs $0.11 a minute with Telvio and a mobile costs $0.11. Ten minutes to a landline is $1.10. Billing is per second with no connection fee, so a short call is charged for the seconds it used rather than rounded up to a whole minute.

## Call Cartagena with Telvio

From $0.11/min. Per-second billing, 1 free minute included.
